Engineering the multifunctionality of LiYTeO garnets with Sm and Tb activators for solid-state lighting and luminescence thermometry.

Tuning the photophysical response is indispensable in realizing the full potential of phosphors to meet the demands of multifunctional applications, such as solid-state lighting and optical thermometry. Herein, orange-red emission from an Sm-based LiYTeO system was studied for the first time with CIE coordinates of (0.488, 0.

Augmenting cyan emission in vanadate garnets Dyactivation for light emitting devices and multi-mode optical thermometry.

Developing cyan-based phosphors is inevitable to bridge the cyan gap to generate white light with a high color rendering index. Herein, the blue-green emission from the VO center in the SrNaMgVO host is augmented activating with Dy ions. Dual emission from the SrNaMgVO:Dy system under 335 nm excitation is due to the energy transfer from VO to the Dy center.

Strategic Tuning of Photophysical Response in the Polyhedral Framework of the Garnet Structure toward White Light-Emitting Devices with Enhanced Color Rendering.

Designing a single-phase phosphor with high quantum efficiency and full spectrum emission is inevitable for today's scientific world. Herein, an optimal strategy for realizing white emission in a single component matrix is envisaged based on the structure-property-design-device policy. Cationic substitution corresponding to polyhedral expansion and contraction in AA'BVO confirms the existence of strong and intricate linkage in the garnet structure.
